Can’t tear me down I’m always building The course has been set It’s the plates that need filling Don’t look now Over the fence I squared my tab And I have nothing to regret Hey Just think of what you saved Hooray Just think of what you saved But there’s one thing I can’t figure out Can’t slow us down Sheep to the staff Unaccountable For blood on my behalf I’m skipping town Pull up the tent Wrote you off as A line item to remit It’s how the tide went out And stayed away forever Refused to swim upstream But must change for the better We’re drowned in saccharine And blissfully unaware We’re praying to the sun And never break the stare I can’t get pulled down here When I’m so elevated Everything is fine these days And I’ve already paid it Oh god of love I find it odd Where do we turn When chaos can’t be dodged The hurricane The raining frogs Don’t come to me when Osteen’s all you’ve got

No I can’t see your Christ Under the emergency blanket He’s out here like every night How much longer can he take it? Hey can you spare a little I think I’m losing my mind Hey can you spare a little I’ve got traps on all sides I have seen the ice Freezing the heart of a neighbor There’s no net, don’t ever think twice It’s worship music for ungodly behavior How far can we fall? And did you sing along? If we are to be judged By the ways we treat the least of us Then I guess I’ll see you in hell Is your hand out or mine Looking up at the bottom line Is your hand out or mine No I can’t see your Christ Under the emergency blanket He’s out here every night Raving of love till it’s your turn to pay for it

I’ve felt the squeeze Incentive gone Lower rations And we still soldier on If there is more I’ve never seen A sleeper Waking up from the dream So tell me what are you worth Oh nothing but a good time So tell me what are you worth It ain’t nothing but a good time Kept on your knees The line will rise A canyon between livelihood and lives We ever pause The game will end Hands on the wheel With an orbit to bend Seen it with my own eyes I’d give it ten days time Keep starving the dogs And who do they bite Now tell me what are you worth Hey nothing but a good time Now tell me what are you worth It ain’t nothing but a good time

Sick of the spinning rock Cynics the empty talk Divisions the masks of God It’s too much already lost If you see it the same way What is there left to save anyway When all I do is squander squander Born in a gold mine And I threw it away A thoughtless impulse The money laundered I spent a fortune to get stuck with the change Brain dead I saw a light In faceless and endless night One thing tore down the dark Feeding the only spark If we see it the same way What is there left to say anyway Climbed in the cage For a riddle to ponder I spent a century plotting my escape A homeless coin with nowhere left to wander The heights of heaven are just more of the same It’s not a guess now It’s a guarantee My last words will be you’ve gotta be kidding me I set a high bar And that’s on me But I can’t get low enough To let down easy It’s not a guess now It’s a guarantee My last words will be you’ve gotta be kidding me If you see in the same What is there left to save anyway It only matters when we say We have only what we make From a distance to display We are all that we’ve had this whole way
